Gear Question
I wondering if anyone could give me...
I wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I'm 6ft, 80kgs (175lbs) and have been riding last yr's 152 banana in AUS conditions. Looking to up it to a 156/156W this year. I have size 10.5 boots.
Plan on using it all over the mountain with a bit of park here and there. Any advice? cheers!
Based on your intended use (and your stats), the 156 should be perfect. It's short enough for some fun in the park but also provide you with a good stable all mountain riding experience.

As was widely reported elsewhere, Baltimore County and the state education department in Maryland held a Common Core forum where a parent was arrested for trying to get tough questions asked that were being censored by the way the forum was set up. Dr. Dallas Dance, the Baltimore County Public Schools superintendent was presiding over that meeting. (The charges were later dropped against Robert Small after a public outcry.)
A Baltimore Sun article last week about complaints from teachers about the new curriculum contains the following passage:
Baltimore County Superintendent Dallas Dance acknowledged problems but expressed confidence the glitches would be worked out, and that teachers and students would adjust.
"We are building the plane as we fly it," he said, adding, "but let's be clear our passengers are safe."
That sounds an awfully lot like what then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare – that "we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it.."
One other note, despite what the media might tell you about only conservatives opposing Common Core forum, there is indeed liberal opposition to Common Core.

Alone In A Foreign Land, Syrian Refugees Face New Fears And Sacrifices
International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) marks World Refugee Day in remembrance of the sacrifices made by refugee families all over the world.
June 19, 2013
Baltimore, MD (IOCC) — When violent clashes suddenly erupted in his Aleppo neighborhood, Faruk, 33, his pregnant wife, Mona, and their three children left their home in Syria and the only life they had ever known to make the exhausting, 160-mile trek to Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. Arriving safe but penniless and alone in a foreign land, the former construction worker fashioned a small shelter out of scavenged scrap metal for his family. The long and difficult journey made Mona seriously ill. Faruk took her to several hospitals in search of help, only to be turned away from each one because he couldn't pay for her care.
With his wife's life at stake, he pleaded with strangers for any help they could give and eventually scraped together enough money to cover the hospital fees. Mona gave birth to a little girl, but the long journey and harsh living conditions in their makeshift home took their toll on her weakened body and she passed away four days later. A devastated Faruk, who left Syria out of fear for the safety of his family, was now a widower filled with a new fear – how to care for a newborn and three more children with no means to support them.

25 Anniversary Gala for Project Mexico is August 24, 2013
Project Mexico and St. Innocent Orphanage of Tijuana, Mexico, have announced a celebratory anniversary gala to be held in Southern California later this summer. "As we conclude our 25th year building hope in Mexico, we find ourselves with much cause to celebrate! Our 25th Anniversary Gala will be hosted on Saturday, August 24, 2013, at the beautiful Grand Tradition Estate in Fallbrook, California. Please join us for an elegant evening of celebration and giving thanks to God for keeping us under His loving arm, allowing us to continue serving those in need."
Since 1988, Project Mexico has ministered in three primary ways:
- by alleviating suffering by building homes for impoverished families facing adversity
- by providing an opportunity for Orthodox people of all ages to participate in missions
- by providing a home and a family for orphaned teenage boys
An internship program began in 1993 as a way for young people to give a few months to one year in service. Interns have helped with everything from work trips to projects at the orphanage to administrative tasks. Additionally, over 10,000 volunteers from forty-three of fifty states and eleven foreign countries, including many teams from Antiochian parishes, have come to give of themselves and have been blessed in return.

2013 Prison Ministry Awareness Sunday Encyclical
The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of North and Central America has announced Prison Ministry Awareness Sunday:
Be diligent to come to me quickly; for Demas has forsaken me...only Luke is with me. 2 Timothy 4:9-11
To the Most Reverend Clergy, Venerable Monastics and Devout Laity of the Orthodox Churches in North and Central America:
Dearly Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Christ is Risen!
We greet you in the surpassing joy of the Risen Christ. By the grace of God, we are blessed to observe the Sixth Sunday of Pascha, which this year falls on June 9, as Prison Ministry Awareness Sunday. We embrace the diakonia of prison ministry in keeping with the example of our Risen Lord Jesus Christ, the Great Physician of our souls, who did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance; who ate in the houses of thieves and forgave the sins of harlots; and who said that, when we visit those in prison, we are in truth visiting Him, the Lord of Glory.
Samer Laham, Patriarchate of Antioch, Named 2013 InterAction Humanitarian of The Year
Baltimore, MD (IOCC) — The leader of one of the largest humanitarian efforts in Syria has been named 2013 Humanitarian of the Year by InterAction, an alliance of more than 180 U.S.-based international relief organizations. Samer Laham is a driving force inside Syria, providing vital humanitarian assistance to those in need without regard to religious, ethnic, or political affiliations. Under Laham's leadership of the Department of Ecumenical Relations and Development for the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East (GOPA) based in Damascus, Syria, GOPA has worked tirelessly to provide more than $31 million in emergency aid to displaced Syrians as well as ongoing assistance to Iraqi refugees, including educational support, vocational training, small business development, and crisis counseling.
With the outbreak of violence in Syria that has inflicted hardship on millions of its citizens, Laham has courageously led his staff of 120 to provide food, medical supplies, crisis counseling, and other services essential to survival for people in need across the country. In the face of bombardments, fighting and constant fear, Mr. Laham and his staff have persevered to provide humanitarian assistance to more than 300,000 vulnerable Syrian children, families and elderly.
IOCC Dignitaries Meet with Patriarch John X
International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) reports:
It was a holy and historic day in Beirut. More than 1,000 hierarchs, clergy and lay people packed the incense-filled nave of Saint Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral on February 17, 2013, including both the President and Prime Minister of Lebanon, as well as government officials from the U.S., Russia, and other countries around the world.
Joining them were International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) Board Chairman, Michael "Mickey" Homsey, and IOCC Executive Director, Constantine Triantafilou, who had both traveled from the United States to attend at the invitation of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East. All were there to witness the same milestone, the first Divine Liturgy served by His Beatitude, John X, the newly elected Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East.
His predecessor, Patriarch Ignatius of Blessed Memory, spent more than three decades serving as the spiritual father of the Orthodox faithful in Syria. Patriarch Ignatius' leadership provided a wellspring of inspiration and comfort to Orthodox Christians throughout the Middle East, especially during troubled times. Without His Beatitude's grateful assistance, IOCC's humanitarian efforts in the region would not have been fully realized.
Both Homsey and Triantafilou had met with Patriarch Ignatius during a visit to Syria last year shortly before his repose, during which they were humbled to receive His Beatitude's blessing for IOCC's ongoing humanitarian work in Syria, and his praise for the organization serving as a beacon of hope for so many struggling families.
Patriarchal Special Tray Offering + Palm Sunday, 2015
Every year on Palm Sunday, a special Patriarchal tray offering is conducted in Antiochian parishes. The Palm Sunday special tray collection is for the benefit of the Patriarchate of Antioch, and is used at the discretion of the Patriarch to benefit people, churches, and programs of the Patriarchate of Antioch in the Middle East.
Now, more than ever, this material support is crucial, as our brothers and sisters in Syria are suffering such great hardship because of the violence that has gripped the country.
A significant portion of the funding that is required by the Archdiocese comes from the assessments and Special Trays which are paid by each parish to the Archdiocese on an annual basis.

OCMC Announces Immediate Needs for 2013 Mission Teams
From July 19 to August 1, 2013, the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) is sending a team comprised of Orthodox families from North America to offer parent workshops, children's programs, family activities and ministry outreach to Albanian church leaders and their families. Three to four families are still needed to serve on this team that will strengthen and encourage Orthodox Christians in a country that is predominantly non-Christian.
Another immediate need is for support staff to participate on the short-term mission team scheduled to offer healthcare in Uganda from May 29 to June 12, 2013. Two to three nurses, pharmacists, medical students, or those interested in providing much needed health services as a witness to their Orthodox faith are desperately needed for this team.
Those able to share and teach the faith are also needed for teams serving in Kenya and Tanzania in July and August. These are profound opportunities to share Orthodox Christianity with our African brothers and sisters who may be new to the faith.
For more information or to apply for a team, visit the Teams web page, call Teams Director Andrew Lekos at 1-877-GO-FORTH, or e-mail the OCMC's Teams Department at email@example.com.
Works of the Order in Action: The Treehouse
Ten short years ago in Wichita, Kansas, a group of Orthodox Christians wanted to reach out to struggling moms who had chosen to let their babies live. In addition to praying for them, we wanted to provide tools to help moms take their lives in a positive direction. The Treehouse was born.
Today, we have celebrated 15,755 birthdays and helped change over a quarter million diapers! Our goal is to practice our Orthodox faith daily in everything we do at The Treehouse, teaching moms that they are not alone in their struggles. We want them to know that, when their world seems like a very dark place, they have somewhere to turn for hope. We provide them and their babies with positive Christian role models and basic necessities, such as diapers, formula and an inexpensive thrift store. We offer, too, educational classes to nurture our moms so that their babies can flourish.

There are moments of genuine pathos, genuine humor, genuine surprise. As much as the film adheres to the strictures of the standard comic-book movie, it also pops with a knowing, loving, Whedon-world jokiness that keeps everything barreling along.
The Avengers is both campy and reverential. Comic-Con nerds will have multiple orgasms. I had a blast.
Most impressive of all, The Avengers makes superhero movies new again - a colossal task indeed.
Tasked with meeting the many requirements necessary for any Avengers movie to work, Whedon checks off all the boxes, then sets about creating new expectations for what a big superhero movie ought to be.
The real hero here is Joss Whedon, who directs the film with a fanboy's enthusiasm and a thorough knowledge of the genre.
The Avengers kicks ass.
The Avengers has it all. And then some. Six superheroes for the price of one ticket... It's also the blockbuster I saw in my head when I imagined a movie that brought together the idols of the Marvel world in one, shiny, stupendously exciting package. It's "Transformers" with a brain, a heart and working sense of humor. Suck on that, Michael Bay. [10 May 2012, p.74]
The Avengers is as brawny and lamebrainy as any comic book movie deserves to be, capped by a 40-minute assault pummeling senses as few action sequences ever have.
In terms of storytelling, The Avengers is for the most part a highly functional, banged-together vehicle that runs on synthetic franchise fuel. Yet the grand finale of CGI action, set in the streets of New York, is - in every sense - smashing.
This mania is what Marvel followers have hungered for, and it would be fruitless to deny their delight. As Loki says to a crowd of earthlings, "It is the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation." We do, Master, we do.
Whedon is the key reason why this $220-million behemoth of a movie is smartly thought out and executed with verve and precision. It may be overly long at two hours, 23 minutes, but so much is going on you might not even notice.
The action scenes-blissfully easy to follow-are where Whedon makes the giant leap into the big leagues.
The Avengers doesn't aim for transcendence, only for the juggler's skill of keeping the balls smoothly airborne, and in 3-D too (converted after production). At that it succeeds.
The Avengers have been assembled and, for the most part, they fit together superbly. A joyous blend of heroism and humour that raises the stakes even as it maintains a firm grip on what makes the individual heroes tick.
Big, brash and very funny, Joss Whedon's Avengers Assemble is equal to the sum of its parts – and for once, that's no faint praise. Suit up.
Whedon and his cohorts have managed to stir all the personalities and ingredients together so that the resulting dish, however familiar, is irresistibly tasty again.
Like a superior, state-of-the-art model built from reconstituted parts, Joss Whedon's buoyant, witty and robustly entertaining superhero smash-up is escapism of a sophisticated order.
Fans of all that has come before (excluding Roger Corman's premature-ejaculation version of "The Fantastic Four," natch) will weep tears of giddy joy at how crowd-pleasingly cohesive – and ridiculously fun – this film is.
The banter has zip, the effects are fun, the climactic battle is decently spectacular, and if the 3-D is mostly expendable, there are a few scenes where it adds a nice kick.
Even with the flaws of the final half, The Avengers is grand, brisk fun. It comes tantalizingly close to reaching the level of the very best comic book films of the current generation.
The film is good enough to keep all the Marvel Comics crazed audiences out there deliriously happy while keeping the rest of us earthbound types in moderate thralldom.
The Avengers has been executed with all the reverence the super-fans demand, as well as the winking, self-referential humor that has made it palatable for filmgoers disinclined to take a bunch of grown men dressed in spangles and spandex so very seriously.
Whedon has made a superb template of an action film.
Whedon weaves a story that allows each of the heroes to do what they do best. And while they may not have exactly equal time, audiences get enough of each to feel satisfied, but not sated. Clever work, indeed.
When I see these six together, I can't help thinking of the champions at the Westminster Dog Show. You have breeds that seem completely different from one another (Labradors, poodles, boxers, Dalmatians), and yet they're all champions.
You don't need to be a "comic-book person" to find the set pieces exhilarating. But if you are such a person, or a fan of the movies that comic books turn into, The Avengers feels like the moment you've been waiting for.
If the film is more solid and satisfying than terrific, so be it.
The Avengers is neither overwhelming nor underwhelming. What it expertly is, is whelming.
Because it pulls off the tricky feat of combining multiple pre-existing Marvel franchises into a reasonably entertaining and tonally coherent whole, The Avengers will likely be hailed as a kind of thinking fan's superhero film, the way Whedon's recent "Cabin in the Woods" functioned as both a horror movie and a critique of same.
The fiery finale is good enough to leave the legions smiling. But when a movie is expected to lift an entire industry, "good enough" shouldn't be good enough.
The chaos and carnage here is just a pumped-up take on a tradition that harks back to Godzilla, and harks back, of course, to the Marvel comics from which all these heros originally sprang.
While The Avengers exhibits exemplary craftsmanship, Joss Whedon hasn't made a great film.
They're fascinating characters, to be sure, with back stories ripe for development. But Whedon doesn't commit here, and the results are shrug-worthy.
The picture is broken down into narrative chunks that ultimately don't tell much of a story – what you get instead is a series of mini-climaxes held together by banter between characters.
It's fun to watch Whedon pitch his heroes against each other. Child's play, maybe, but entertaining all the same.
The bad news is that if you haven't seen "Thor," "Captain America" and "Iron Man 2" - that's six hours and three minutes of homework - The Avengers won't make sense. The good news is if you're a human under the age of 45, you probably already have.
Expected too is the result: a kind of sterile opulence or, if you prefer, a magnificent emptiness.
May 1, 2012Every time the movie hints at something rich and evocative, Whedon undercuts it with a punchline - his instincts as a big-picture storyteller crippled by his short-term need to please the crowd.
The Avengers has a knockout final 30 minutes, all gee-whiz crash and bang and eye candy that makes grand use of 3D and IMAX and all the other toys. But the Transformers movies did that, too.
A slow start, a single star performance surrounded by indifferent acting and an onslaught of computer effects that range from seen-it-all-in-"Transformers" to a whole sky full of spectacular stuff in the midtown Manhattan climax.
The light, amusing bits cannot overcome the grinding, hectic emptiness, the bloated cynicism that is less a shortcoming of this particular film than a feature of the genre.
What I see in The Avengers, unfortunately, is a diminished film despite its huge scale, and kind of a bore.
May 2, 2012Of the star-studded cast, only Mark Ruffalo (playing Bruce Banner) and Robert Downey Jr. (as Iron Man) bring any personality to the place-holder dialogue. Overlong, monotonous, violent, and simple-minded, this is like one of those "World's Biggest Gang Bang" videos, except that no one onscreen appears to be enjoying himself.

Alnico Experiment
Hi Guys,
This new thread is a follow-up on the Alnico topic: is there a possibilty of seeing some MA Alpairs with alnico magnets? Take a look at this experiment designed and built by Evan Yu. It consists of Alnico magnet held in steel U yoke. A CHR70 frame was re-machined to take this experimental Motor Set. The Power Train is from a standard third generation CHR. The outcome is very interesting. As predicted, the relatively weak MEP (Maximum Energy Product) of the small mass Motor Set produced a low SPL (around 75 average). Of greater interest is the unexpected boost to the high range (exceeded our standard anechoic line measurement @ 40kHz (tolerance > 35kHz is +/- 2.5dB). We usually expect to see a fall-off > 35kHz but we detected a climbing response, rather unusual. The test driver maintained a near flat response. Due to the low output, the driver is outside the tolerances set up for our standard LMS T/S test. The next step is to increase Motor Set mass but there's more testing before this next step. The issue of future mass production cost will also be up for consideration. In terms of perceivable musical output, we're some way off the listening and review stages. Musical beauty will be in the ears of each listener so I can't say Alnico will "improve" the sound. It might possibly deliver some measured performance benefits, but we're some way off from knowing final outcomes and as already stated, "bang for the buck" (cost V performance gain) will be on the agenda. Cheers Mark. Last edited by markaudio; 2nd November 2012 at 08:11 AM. |

Very interesting.
Obviously the powertrain will need some redesign as expected to compensate for the change in magnet / yoke design affecting the rest of it. The FR is reasonably encouraging though if nothing else. Response on the bottom end has changed -is that a measurement artifact from your being outside the usual LMS tolerances you have for the CHR et al? Or has the mass-corner increased? Since the powertrain is stock, it looks like you've got more electrical damping from it, despite the reduced MEP. I'd probably suggest that any future production unit (mists of the distant future) would be better based on an Alpair rather than the CHR, but I reckon using the cheaper unit is a bit more economical for experimenting on... Possibly with the MAOP cone or similar, for a full-on SE driver. Last edited by Scottmoose; 2nd November 2012 at 10:28 AM. |

I dont know if it will ultimately work out, but I think there is a market for Alnico based FR units. You really only have Lowther and AN, that I know of. Lowther is out of most peoples price range and many models are not well regarded. The AN's have a following, but seem to have just as many detractors to match. I can say I would be very confident in a product coming from you and your team and would be watching in earnest, just like I am for MAOP 7

In "is there a possibilty of seeing some MA Alpairs with alnico magnets? #17"
What are performance differences in materials? Is rare earth magnet conductive? Ferrite certainly isn't good conductor. How smoothly do magnetic fields move through each? Barkhausen effect noise is easily demonstrated with ferrite magnets. It looks like you are in a great position to explore this effect with Alnico materials. Andrew |

A minor point, but AlNiCo isn't a rare earth magnet, which the above appears to suggest.

well, perhaps not "rare", but certainly not as common as ceramic types - sorry, I couldn't resist Mark: of course you realize that once you open Pandora's box ..... somehow that sounded pervy

It is not a rare earth magnet, at least aluminum nickel and cobalt aren't. Perhaps there is some brand that throws a bit of samarium in the mix which is a rare earth magnet. the nice thing on the production end of these magnets is that nickle and cobalt are often found in the same ores.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see these increase in popularity as the price and availability of Nd rises, mostly due to China's growing middle class/domestic electronics market. |

I think it comes in different qualities
you can find cheap drivers using small alnico magnets on its own, not that much special actually, it might be possible to buy them in small standard sizes from the same place where people buy their neo magnets for the diy planar and ribbon speaker projects but ofcourse, it always gets very expencive if you want something special |

It's likely the other side of the China equation - i.e. monolithic control of all aspects of the economy by the Communist party, and its ability to hold the rest of the globe hostage due to their production predominance of this material that has as much to do with the roller coaster ride the market price has enjoyed over the past couple of years as the consumption by their burgeoning domestic consumption of such products. I could be wrong, but even with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, economics experts & historians don't always agree, and predictions are worth the paper they're printed on.

'Butterflies kept me alive in the bush'
Comment on this storySydney - An Australian man missing in bushland and given up for dead survived for a month in searing heat on a diet of butterflies, shellfish and fruit, news reports said on Thursday.
Stephen Currie, 40, was 15kg lighter when he was found on Tuesday, 10km from his Queensland hometown of Chillagoe, 200km west of Cairns, after being declared missing on December 29.
He told police he had left his caravan to go for a walk, and got lost on the way back, the Cairns Post reported.
He was found by a local on a bush track.
"By all money, I thought he was gone," Police Constable Vince Marcel told the Cairns Post.
"He just had a pair of shorts on - no shoes, no hat, no provisions."

Flexibility is a hallmark elsewhere in the Z4 as well. A console-mounted switch toggles among three settings: normal, sport, and sport-plus, effecting changes in the steering effort, in throttle mapping, in the shift logic of the automatic transmission, and in damper firmness. (The latter is only for cars equipped with M Adaptive damping, part of the sport package, which also includes sport seats, eighteen-inch wheels, and a more generous electronically limited top speed of 150 mph rather than 130.) This is a further evolution of the optional Sport button in the previous Z4, which affected throttle, steering effort, and automatic transmission shift control.
Carmakers' attempts to create electronics-induced multiple personalities have become increasingly widespread, but we find that they're often of little value. In the case of the Z4, the range from normal to sport-plus is pretty narrow. The difference in throttle mapping, for instance, is barely discernible, although that's rather a blessing since a hypersensitive gas pedal does not make a responsive car.
The change in steering effort is more notable, switching from too light to just right - but we'd happily do without the former. The steering is again electrically assisted (although the M roadster used hydraulic assist), and it's certainly precise but lacks that last measure of tactility.
With regard to the transmission, we ended up preferring the less aggressive modes. All are responsive to a quick stomp on the throttle, but in sport-plus, the gearbox is so reluctant to upshift that you end up cruising around in fourth gear when a mellower mode would select seventh.
The selectable damping is a new feature with this redesign. Again, the differences among each mode are subtle. But when driving hard, you appreciate the extra control of body motions (primarily squat and dive) offered by sport-plus, which combines with firmer steering to create the most confidence-inspiring overall setup. This was our preferred setting for attacking the endless series of switchbacks on our test route. Sport-plus also loosens the reins of the otherwise overactive stability control (and illuminates its warning light on the dash), allowing a welcome bit of rear slip angle. But it would take real determination, and the stability control switched off completely, to unstick the rear end. Even in sport-plus, the chassis has so much grip - on its wide Bridgestone Potenzas - that the Z4 proves endlessly forgiving, never twitchy.
One important question is how much ride comfort is sacrificed with the firmer setting, and the answer is none - provided you're on unblemished pavement like that in sun-kissed southern Spain, where we conducted our test drive. As long as the ride in less idyllic conditions isn't too brutal, it's frankly hard to see the need for the other settings.

S'Criage Spa & Salon revitalizes visages with services that include facials, microdermabrasion, waxing, hair services, and eyelash extensions. The anti-aging facial begins with a thorough exfoliation of the epidermis, the skin layer most likely to be stricken with fine lines and suction-cup arrow marks. Microcurrents then delve deeper into skin, delivering gentle electric stimulation to tighten up slack muscles. In an effort to keep skin soft and shiny, cellular nano therapy saturates faces with nourishing nutrients. Clients can then relax sore limbs as a muscle maestro melts tension in the scalp, shoulders, arms, and feet. To keep mouths from blurting out secret family recipes during treatment, clients can also snack on assorted sumptuous appetizers.
Robin Chadwick and the stylists at Chadwick Hair Company have the power to make hair shorter, or longer and fuller. Along with haircuts and micro-fusion hair extensions, stylists use their talents to add dimension with foil highlights, and straighten and smoothen wayward curls with Brazilian straightening treatments. They also draw attention to eyes with eyelash extensions.

Tempers ran high on Tuesday among the leaders of coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema, on the one hand, and Telangana on the other, over the issue of the State's bifurcation in the absence of any significant initiative from the Centre to break the deadlock.
At a Cabinet meeting convened by Chief Minister K. Rosaiah, Ministers from Rayalaseema gave vent to their anger against the police lathi charge on students of Sri Krishnadevaraya University (SKU) in Anantapur.
Agriculture Minister N. Raghuveera Reddy, who belongs to the district, reportedly found fault with the police for using excess force on the students protesting against arrest of their leaders who were on an indefinite fast.
Home Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy drew flak for not reacting adequately when 10 students were injured in clashes with the police. It was said that she promptly reined in the police in Hyderabad after they beat up students on the Osmania University campus. Mr. Rosaiah pleaded with his Ministers to sink their differences, observe restraint and await the Centre's word.
Within the Congress, more fissures developed, this time over Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy's action in the Lok Sabha in supporting the TDP MPs who were opposing the State's division. Congress MPs and MLAs from Telangana, including his known supporters demanded disciplinary action against him by the high command.
In Vijayawada, prohibitory orders were imposed after Congress MP Lagadapati Rajagopal resumed the fast he began in Hyderabad on Monday before he was detained by police. Normal life in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema remained disrupted by bandhs, processions and road blockades on National Highway 5 (Kolkata-Chennai) and NH 9 (Hyderabad-Vijayawada).
Bandh in Cuddapah dt.
A total bandh was observed in Kadapa district and violence broke out in several places after the police removed Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, MLC and brother of the late Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, after he staged an impromptu dharna near the Secretariat. People went on the rampage attacking State and Central Government offices in Pulivendula, Badvel and other places.

I would recommend getting a different pair for the park. These bindings are crazy rigid and are made for all mountain. Take a look at the Triad, or Cartel or the P1.1 or the Molotov. All of these will be better suited for your style of riding.

The idea and circuit came from this Make weekend project. Why don't you pay them a visit?
Step 1: Parts and Tools
But for those of you who like it in text, here it is:
Helping Hands (Optional)
Soldering Iron
A Blue or White LED (Other colors are fine, too)
2N3904 Transistor or equivalent
1k Resistor (Brown-Black-Red)
Toroid Bead
Thin wire, two colors (magnet wire works)
You can get the toroid and transistor from a dead CFL; the transistor is usually labeled 13002.
Also, if you use a 2N4401 or BC337 transistor, your LED will be brighter because they can handle more amps.

Made it but have hard time to measure output voltage. My true RMS multimeter show me exactly the same output voltage as the input voltage. But it make sense, as the output is a pulse, the mean of the output may actually be equal to the input. Am I right ? If so I may read my VC850 to find a way to measure peak voltage.
I did not have 2N3904 at my disposal so i used a used 2N2222 instead. The toroid winding part is great, helped me a lot. Thanks !
What effect does this technique have on a fully charged battery? can it fold up at the transister? Im a total noob so please forgive,
It will just be brighter. I actually took 2 rechargeable AAA batteries that had 1.2v in them and the LED shined really brightly.
Help me understand the role of the transistor? Is this specific to the joule thief? Running and LED directly from battery source (with resistor) doesn't seem to require the transistor, so I'm curious about what changes with the joule thief to make the transistor a requirement?
The LED will only light up if the battery voltage exceeds te forward voltage of the LED. Think of it as a threshold. So connecting a 1.5V battery to an LED with a forward voltage of 3V won't light it up. The Joule thief circuit here pulses the power through the coil, which causes a voltage spike, which is high enough to light up LEDs with a forward voltage much higher than the battery can provide directly. Furthermore, it can keep doing so untill the battery is almost completely drained, in effect 'stealing' every last bit of energy from the battery. It is so good at cranking up the voltage, it can work with batteries that are too discharged for most other devices.
Hard to see at first what is connected to what, I used parts of an old psu to build mine :)
The circuit they are in has a 3-pin device labelled only "8N 11027" & a 2-pin device w/o any label.
I thought I might rebuild it with a joule thief that would work with 3 white leds off 2 D-cells. Can you help?
I'm a little late with this post, but built a pretty small (like dime sized) Joule Thief yesterday night, per 1up's instructions/suggestions. Used magnet wire suggestion, as well as the CFL toroid and the 2N4401. I say all that to say: for the LED portion of that circuit, i used a 3 LED lamp from a keychain light. The 3 LED's were VERY bright, powered with only a 'dead' 1.5V button cell (AG13?) and the JT.
hey i was able to make a simple working model bt wt i'm curious about is dat
1) wt effect would we see if change the no of windings ?
2) wt does it do exactly does it amplify the voltage, if yes then can we amplify a voltage of 3.5V to 5V by maybe increasing the no of windings on both sides....
please reply asap
Hello,When am trying, 1.3v Battery is providing only 1.2v across the LED and hence it is not lit up. Could anyone tell me where I might have went wrong?
Tried with 10, 11 and 12 turns around the toroid. Same result :(
too much voltage and/or amperage going through. is it the same as the one in the instructable?
if not, you might be interested in getting the same one.
spent an evening with the wrong two wires on the inductor twisted together. Made a hot transistor. Seems to require at least one volt but there we go.
P.S. Does it really reduce amperage ?
Cause im thinking of using it as a boost to run a motor
I tried a GET5172 ( = NTE123A ) and the LED is the brightest yet. It consumed .1V from the single battery in 24 hours.
2N4401 lights better than a 3904
2N2222A doesn't light at all ? ? ?
The critical part of the winding the toroid instructions are:
Keep winding the two strands through the toroid until you have about 11 turns
We now have two pairs of wires facing opposite directions.
Take one wire from each pair ensuring they are a different color and solder this
"crossover pair" together. This goes to the positive of the battery.
None of these transistors can handle "amps" they are all probably in the 200 mA range. A 2N3904 is listed as 200 mA typical EC current I believe. But I'm sure most people will understand what you're saying. The other point is that while the transistor can push 200mA if 200mA went through the LED it would burn up in a very short time. Most of these LEDs are rated for around 20-30mA that's about one tenth of the rated current handling capacity of the transistor.
um.. forgive me, i just a beginner

Is your latex mattress topper dunlop or talalay? What is the ILD of soft, medium and firm? Is it a whole piece of latex, or shredded? Last one, does it come in three inch? I have heard three inch toppers are best. Thanks! Cheryl
Hi Cheryl,
We do have a dunlop topper available, if you like. We carry both, Dunlop and Talalay Latex foam mattress toppers
Latex is a natural product and the ILD can vary. Soft is in the mid teens, medium in the mid 20s and firm is in the mid 30s.
As shown below, you can see that they are one piece.
The most popular is the 2" soft Talalay...used mostly to soften the surface of a too firm mattress. Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

The Answer to Fish Phobia. Fast, Effective and Guaranteed
Feelings of dread? Overwhelming thoughts? Rapid heartbeat? Tunnel Vision? Or worse? Since 2002 we have worked with countless folks from all walks of life and we know for sure: there's no question you can overcome fish phobia.
If you are now ready to have this over and done with, here's what you can expect from us:
- Significant progress overcoming fish phobia in just 24 hours
- Privacy and complete discretion
- We've helped people from 70+ countries vanquish their fear
How to Get Started
We have two proven programs for Fish Phobia First, there is the do-it-yourself Home Study program. Or second, you can work with a board-certified specialist in our one-on-one program:
Home-Study Program: Vanquish Fear & Anxiety
Boxed CD's and Workbook are $147. Save $10 by just Downloading
• Start Immediately by Downloading Now
• Go at Your Own Speed in the Privacy of Your HomeOne-on-One 'VIP' Program
Individual Program Created Specifically for You by Your Practitioner
• Private Sessions with Board-Certified Specialist
• Fast, Personalized & Proven System to Get Rid of the Root of the Fear
How Does the Program Work?
Re-'wiring' your unconscious mind is the key to this program – and its safe and surprisingly easy to do. Your rational mind knows that your Fish Phobia is illogical. The fear persists because it is subconsciously linked to a mental trigger which sets off a whole range of powerful negative emotions – fear leading the charge of course – at even the slightest thought of fish. Its become an automatic response.
Until now, you just haven't had the techniques for re-programming those connections. We'll help you learn this simple system to make the fear history. Isn't it time you took control?
- Want to discuss your options? Contact Us Now Contact Us Now >
What You Need to Know About Treatments and Cures
Here's the thing, our system does not treat or cure your fear. As much as we'd like to wave a magic wand and 'cure' you, it's actually up to you to change how you feel. We're going to walk you through the process that helps you re-program that tricky subconscious thinking.
The methods in our program will teach clear-cut steps toward gaining self-belief, peace and joy, as well as proven procedures to conquer your negative emotions. You have dealt with these emotions haunting you long enough. Harmful thinking isn't helping – you need to make some serious changes now.
The Triggers and Factors that Cause Your Fear
An really disturbing incident from the past, is often (though, not always) the root cause of Fish Phobia. In some cases, it appears the brain has produced the fear with no instigation. By exposing the root cause, you will be able to remedy the problem by easily exchanging harmful triggers. Persons that find themselves at greatest risk:
• Those who have a general predisposition for fear and anxiety
• People characterized as skittish, energetic, easily upset, nervous
• Someone who deals with adrenal insufficiency
Do you feel as if even one of these represents you? Click to read testimonials from those who have been through our programs.
You can also read what the media has to say.
Diagnosing Your Phobia
To find out the gravity of the problem for you, use our 2 minute Online Assessment for Fish Phobia Online Test although it is fairly clear cut: It is time to do something about the fear, if it is having a significantly negative effect on your life.
- Do you become queasy at the smallest idea of Fish?
- Does it trigger a dry mouth and clammy hands?
- Does your heart beat like a drum?
- Do your legs feel as if they will give way?
Those are just a few of the symptoms. Click to find out more about the symptoms of fish phobia.
We address the symptoms, but we uncover the source, to eliminate them both. Our goal is to have you get rid of the root cause of the fear.
Drugs & Medication
The use of drugs and medication for Fish Phobia is not encouraged in our program because they generally mask the problem, rather than tackling the cause. Meds may seem to help in the short-term by temporarily improving your symptoms, but the problem is that they can never cure the core issue of the fearful patterns of thinking that are the automatic reaction to fish and which trigger the intense feelings of fear.
By the way – no one has ever developed a drug exclusively for Fish Phobia – so it's hard to justify popping a pill as a healthy solution with all the uncertainty that surrounds potential side effects.
The good news is with our system you will vanquish your Fish Phobia, without drugs..

It's time to bring end to QB quarrel [5:19 AM]
D and C reports:
'I don't know what's been most nauseating about this No-Longer-So-Great Quarterback Debate: Rob Johnson's inability to take the high road in the fray; the fanatics who think Doug can walk on Flutie Flakes without crushing them, or the thin-skinned members of the western New York media who believe Flutie should burn in hell because his huge ego rubbed them the wrong way.'
Scouting report [5:18 AM]
D and C reports:
'Travis Henry and the running game need to give Johnson some help. Johnson isn't good enough to win this game with a one-dimensional passing attack, so he'll need Henry to rip off chunks of yardage on the ground to keep the San Diego defense honest. Rattle Flutie and prevent him from getting into a comfort zone.'
Buffalo Injury report from ESPN [7:49 PM]
ESPN reports:
The Bills had a scare Thursday when WR Eric Moulds rolled an ankle, but he returned to practice Friday and was fine. He participated in all of Friday's drills. The Bills are expected to give backup WR Jeremy McDaniel another week to heal from his ankle injury. DE Phil Hansen says he will return after two missed games because of a dislocated elbow. He may not start, but he is expected to play. That will help the Bills run defense against San Diego. Jon Carman will start at right tackle for injured Jonas Jennings,who has a foot injury.
Sore Seau practices, hopeful of playing [10:55 AM]
North County Times reports:
'Bills quarterback Rob Johnson has a big fan in Riley. The two share a special relationship from their days together at USC. Johnson set numerous records there while Riley was the offensive coordinator. "Rob spent about every day in my office," Riley said. "He was a great guy to have around, and I really enjoyed coaching him. He was a heck of a kid."'
Running man [9:09 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'All Tomlinson has done is resurrect a Chargers' running game that hasn't produced a 1,000-yard rusher since 1994. He is the NFL's fourth-leading rusher with 544 yards - more than any San Diego running back has gained in a season the last two years.'
Butler exhales, then fires back at Wilson [9:08 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'He insists he had no arrangement in place with San Diego when Wilson fired him before the last game of the regular season in December. And he said it's ludicrous to think any financial decisions were made without Wilson's knowledge and consent.'
Henry pleads guilty, hurts endorsement potential [9:06 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Henry was accused of having consensual sex with a 15-year-old girl in his home Sept. 23, authorities said. The girl, a runaway from the Hopevale residential facility for girls whom Henry had met at a Camp Road gas station, told Henry she was almost 18.'
The throwback [9:05 AM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports:
'"I came in as a second-round draft choice and I went to three Super Bowls right away," Hansen said. "They (the Bills) have done nothing but treat me well, and I've given them an honest day's work with the talent I've got. It's been a good marriage."'
Seau still sore, uncertain about playing [9:04 AM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports:
'Yesterday's practice was supposed to give linebacker Junior Seau a better idea of whether he'll be able to play tomorrow against Buffalo. But after going through his second practice in as many days, Seau (strained groin) seemed no closer to having an answer.'
At long last, feuding QBs meet on same field [7:47 AM]
National Post reports:
'"I don't have to face him," Johnson said of Flutie. "He's not playing defence. Some of his fans probably think he can play defence, but no." Johnson's problem, of course, is that few Buffalo fans believe he can play offence.'
Johnson's put Flutie feud behind him [7:42 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports:
'"We've gone beyond ridiculous (on the Flutie-Johnson issue) a long time ago," he said with a sad smile.'
